Im a big Jill kelly fan, and wish her nothing but the best. but when i saw this, it made me as mad as hell. something is wrong when a person gets their name taken. look at this.

Her name isn't taken - her stage name was.
Since stage names are valuable for name recognition, it was a silly oversight on her part and her lawyer's for not having itemized exactly what was bought and sold.

Oh God! This is hilarious!! Am I the only one that sees the humor in this?

Personally, I think Jill ought to go with a new stage name anyway. She could do a whole PR/marketing campaign around it.

Yes. Yes. And yes.

Yes this would be huge oversight on the part of her attorneys. Now she can spend more money trying to get it back. Doah!

Yes recreating herself is an option. Hard to do but possible especially if she's willing to perform and the industry gets behind her with major PR.

Yes it would take a very dedicated PR team to make it happen but personally, I'd love to see her do it and come out on top.

Friends -

These entertainment industry contracts and negotiations can get pretty cutthroat and bizarre.

Many are the musicians who were surprised to find out they'd lost their names or their own songs or their identity, or all the above to record companies and music industry conglomerates.

I think it was John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival about 25 years ago that couldn't perform his own songs that he'd written, and couldn't use his own real name professionally, while he was fighting with his record company over who owned what.

Brilliant ! But seriously, I think Jewel has the right idea. Jill can go by her first name alone.

Wasn't she someone else before she was Jill?

I'm not a legal expert but it seems that Jill just received a favorable ruling from the judge who according to AVN issued an injunction that prevents both parties from using the name. It seems that Jill may be able to retain her name at least as far running her websites go. And it appears that she is backed by Playboy on this maybe she will get that name back after all.

may as well...has there been another Jill in the biz that comes even close to her name recognition?
I'd take her on for free.
